It’s official: no spooks at Cambridgeshire County Council

It’s official: there are no spooky goings-on at Cambridgeshire County Council-owned properties.

It seems that ghosts and ghouls are shying away from any interactions with council workers.

Bureaucrats and other council employees and tenants have not reported ghosts or supernatural activity since at least 2010, it has been revealed.

A Freedom of Information Act question filed anonymously to Cambridgeshire County Council asking about reports of any strange phenomenon or things that go bump in the - daytime.

The request said: “Please disclose details of reports to this council of ghosts or other supernatural activity at council-owned or council-run properties, disclosing: a) Date of report b) Property involved in report c) Details of the report d) Who made the report (e.g. tenant, member of staff) e) Action taken as a result of the report.

“Please provide information for the years 2010/11, 2011/12, 2012/13.”

The answer said: “Cambridgeshire County Council has not received any reports of ghosts or supernatural activity and therefore does not hold this information for the purposes of the Freedom of Information Act.”
